A million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I had a lot of that stuff on my head (hair, do they call it?) I joined the Valley Computer Club to learn how to build and program computers.
Back then, "hacking" was not a pejorative. It was what you did ... in order to find a non-standard solution to some knotty (no, that's not "naughty!") problem. Like re-writing your on-disk CP/M BIOS in raw hex, because you couldn't write Assembly Language. Or using a paper punch to put a notch on the other side of your 5-1/4" floppy so you could read and write on both sides of it.
So, what I did, I started hacking at Sigil and found the answer to my question. ("What is the answer?" Gertrude Stein's next-to-last words. No one at her bedside could respond. "Well, what is the question?" Gertrude Stein's last words.)
What you do is this:
Once the file is loaded in Sigil, click on View and select "Book Browser." (Alternatively, do an Alt-F1 - which is not, I hasten to add, the smaller version of Formula-One, previously referred to as "Formula Atlantic" ... back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I . . . etc etc etc) This shows the text.
Now that I'm in the text mode, I imagine I can hack my way into the editing process.
Also, I'm going to return to Open Office and see if perhaps I can force code there, so there's less HTML and CSS hacking to do.
Thanks for your response, though, Itimpi.
